Reviews

“I loved it! With a diverse cast of teens with interesting backgrounds, The Makers Club tackles real problems that young aspiring creators face at home and in school with relatable and believable characters. It’s easy to read even if you do not know anything about game development, so you don’t need to be a gamer, developer, or artist to enjoy it!”
